As above, do you use them? What are your opinions?
-
we have them on half the fleet at scottish gas they are brilliant on snow , ok on ice but they must be taken off when you reach tarmack
don't know what they cost but our front wheel drive vans were going places i would never have dreamt, the ones we have are tyre size specific and are held on with elastic they fit over like a landrover vinyl wheel cover.
-
They start at about ?40, and they do look pretty good where I saw them. As you say, tarmac is a killer for `em
-
we have had 2 vans rip brake pipes off with tyres socks today both were using them on tarmack after coming off the snow
-
Innocent abroad I have never even heard of them,can someone provide a link
-
I just typed in vehicle tyre sock into my browser
-
They are sold in pairs and fitted to the driven wheels. They assist with tracksion for two wheel drive vehicles. Not heard of anyone fitting them to a 4x4. I would have thought a decent set of tyres on a landrover would be sufficient. I bought a set for a van derived motorhome and they were ?65 for that tyre size.
